Granny''s Home
I have never visited Druid's lodge, but have been brought up with stories of it.
It was for some years the home of my Grandmother. She was the daughter of Thomas lewis the Irish Race horse trainer.
Thomas was installed in Druids Lodge about 1907 by Lord Cunliffe who owned the 1913 Derby winner Aboyeur. Thomas was his trainer.
Granny went to school at the Gadolphin school for girls in Salisbury. She was about 16 at this time.
Stephen Donaghue was one of the young jockeys there at the time. According to my granny, she taught him to write his name so as to be able to sign cheques !
If anyone reading this small article has anymore information on Thomas Lewis, I should be grateful. Although he died in 1938, I do not know what or where he went after the start of the 1st world war.
